Peter, I agree: AM did a fantastic job on the FA-2 units. I might be tempted to buy a set of AA units and paint them for SOO LINE or MKT if they were FA1 units, might some day do it anyway, knowing my mortal sin of blasphemy to the rivet counters. They really do look good. Unfortunately, with the economy as it is, one has to be careful of large purchases.

FA-2 engines. I had never seen them in person and was quite impressed with the way they looked. I plan on "super detailing" them over time and add sound decoders. If you have never seen them in person, or seen higher-quality photos of them, I have photos posted on my web site and I also posted a U-tube video of them rolling by on the Houston S Gaugers' club layout at the show two weekends ago. I have some prototype information on the page, as well as some information about how I quickly converted them to DCC and installed the couplers. All can be seen at: http://pmrr.org/Equipment/FA2/index.htm Enjoy, - Peter. -- Peter Vanvliet ([email protected], or [email protected]) Houston, Texas "It is easy to give up; anyone can do that..." http://pmrr.org/ (my model railroad - RSS feed <http://pmrr.org/rss.xml>) http://fourthray.com/ (my company) http://houstonsgaugers.org/ (model railroad club) -- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
